Funny how much attention LEGO City Undercover has gotten recently, right?  :)


I'm kind of torn on this one in a way.  Genuinely felt the game was one of the Wii U's best exclusives... of course, very few third party exclusives stay that way, and it never did quite seem to get the broad audience it deserved. Gamepad stuff wasn't ever (I think) necessary so shouldn't be that hard to fix, but it was a bonus and I'll kind of miss it.  Here's hoping for shorter load times!


That alone to me would be worth the justification of porting it.  If the load times could be reduced to a small fraction of the time they are now, it'd make the game SO much more playable.

WB Games Twitter announces that Lego City Undercover is going multi-platform. PS4/XB1/Switch/Steam. Spring 2017. Not sure if a "remaster" or just a straight port. Probably the later.


EDIT: Also added a handful of indie games that have also been announced for Switch.

Still upset I never played this on Wii U.  Excited to play it on Switch (hopefully with better load times).

Welp, sounds like I have a couple months reprieve before I have to start thinking about playing Stardew Valley. 100% happy though to imagine playing it Switch style, hopefully this is a launch title!

I was disappointed to see that Stardew Valley was cancelled for the Wii U.  I think it would have sold well given that there's nothing else coming out on Wii U, it's had such good reviews, and the Harvest Moon games always seemed to do fairly well on Nintendo consoles but I'm sure they did the math and figured that it wouldn't be worth it.


I've decided not to wait longer to get Stardew Valley so I'm going to pick it up for PC.  Steam has it on sale for $9.99 right now, so why not...

In the long run I'd rather have Stardew Valley on Switch because I feel like that kind of game is nice to have portably, but it still sucks to have to wait. I guess I can play Story of Seasons a while longer.

It's awkward how these decisions can divide a community. I'm sympathetic to the loyal Nintendo customers while also being excited by news like this and ports of games I missed. I've wanted to play Stardew Valley since I heard about it.

Rumor has it from a pretty solid source that From Software has Dark Souls 3 running and are happy with the performance.

Quote
According to one of our sources, From Software has Dark Souls 3 running on the Nintendo Switch with a level of performance they are happy with. They have not committed to releasing it yet, but discussions internally at the company have discussed the financial viability of re releasing the main three Dark Souls titles on the Switch with their DLC bundled in.
Development on a Switch port has been underway for several months via a small team, with From Software waiting to see initial sales data before committing to producing ports. The plan would be for a Switch rerelease of Dark Souls 3 if greenlit to release the same day as PS4, Xbox One and PC receive versions with all DLC included.


Hopefully, provided the sales data looks favorable, that last sentence implies they would release Dark Souls 3 with all DLC for Switch the same day as PS4, Xbox One, etc.


This is sounding positive.

Hey man. You've made a lot of threads on different Switch subjects. It's hard to keep track of where this info all belongs because they're all getting derailed onto other subjects anyways. Look on ye works and despair.

That's my bad. I actually realized it after I posted it and was driving to work. I'm more than happy to move it or see it moved to the rumor thread. Again, my apology.

I thought that Laura Kate Dale claimed she had an actual gameplay trailer of Seasons of Heaven?

Screenshots look pretty great if they're legit. I'm telling you though, the Tegra chip in the Switch is no joke. This is a game (Talos Principle) running the Nvidia Shield Android TV at 1080p, and it's a port of a PC game, not running with the Vulkan API (which I would imagine, every Nintendo Switch game will use).

I'd find that stuff endearing if I didn't hate Nicalis so much. That's as good as a confirmation though.

Do these guys have dev kits? I see this Seasons of Heaven pop up but all it makes me think is this is running off the pc, and they just want to make a switch game, and they're just making it in unreal. They could bait and switch. Use Switch hype to get attention to it, and then release it on ps4 and xbox one and never switch. If that is the case then this game is coming out too.

There's actually an article that explains this exact circumstance, actually.
